Golf, family fun and rainy-day ideas
- Myrtlewood Golf Club: convenient golf-resort access close to the villa.
- Ripley’s Aquarium: an easy family favorite at Broadway at the Beach.
- Mini golf: Myrtle Beach is famous for imaginative courses throughout the Grand Strand.
- Market Common: polished shopping, dining, walking paths and a relaxed neighborhood atmosphere.

A relaxed three-day plan
Day one: coast and Boardwalk
Begin with a beach morning, return to JM Villas to reset, then explore the Boardwalk and SkyWheel around golden hour.
Day two: golf or family attractions
Choose a Myrtlewood tee time or spend the day at Broadway at the Beach. Finish with dinner nearby and a quiet evening at the villa.
Day three: Lowcountry scenery
Pair Brookgreen Gardens with Huntington Beach State Park for a slower, more scenic side of the Grand Strand.
Local planning note: Hours, admission, parking and seasonal events can change. Confirm details directly with each attraction before leaving the villa.
